‘You Gave Me the Strength to Live an Honest Life’

To Matteo and Valentino

From the first moment you were in my arms, I have told you how incredibly grateful, honored and blessed I am to be your father. But I don’t believe I ever told you how you changed my life.

For years, the one thing always clear in my heart was that I wanted to be a father. I dreamed of it often and found great strength and inspiration from the possibility.

When this dream became a reality, you can’t imagine the joy and emotions that filled me. I was anxiously awaiting your arrival, counting the days, the hours, the minutes until your birth. I must have read every book out there about parenting, preparing myself for your arrival. Then, finally, the first time I held you in my arms, the world stopped for me.

The most beautiful and indescribable feeling took over. I felt the purest form of love for the first time in my life. You were finally with me, and I knew I was the luckiest and happiest man in the world!

Since that first moment, my journey with you two has been filled with joy and adventure. We have been traveling the world together since you were just two years old. We learn new things everyday, and I am amazed by anything and everything you do. You make me a better person and inspire me to try new things such as write my first children’s book.

Above all, my beautiful sons, your love gave me the strength to live an honest life. A life of courage and transparency, which fills me with great pride and peace. What an amazing gift you have given me, and I’m forever thankful to you.

If there is anything I want you to live with, aside from knowing that you are unconditionally loved and adored by me and our family and friends, it is that you can be YOURSELF. Don’t ever let anyone or anything make you feel like you can’t be your true self.

Whatever you decide to be or do, I will always be by your side. Please take strength and comfort in that knowledge and never forget it.

I love you,
Papi

Did you miss it? Were you asleep or in a different country? Well you’ve got no excuse now because it’s online.

Ricky Martin performed his new single on The Tonight Show.

Mr Put It Down ft. Pitbull is the first single from Ricky’s upcoming English project which is arriving later this year.

He’s currently touring around America as part of his One World Tour.

So if you can’t see him live, check out this rather amazing performance of Mr Put It Down.

Ricky Martin isn’t Livin La Vida Loca anymore

He’s known for having his top off, sexy Spanish lyrics and making mouths drool all across the world.

But, Ricky Martin is back after nearly a year of new music – and he’s only gone and got Pitbull involved!

The sunglasses-clad rapper – who’s been featured by basically every artist at some stage – and Ricky have brought us Mr Put It Down, a disco-flavored jam track from Martin’s upcoming album.

The best news, it’s in English. Even though both artists speak fluent Spanish – and Ricky is known for recording albums in only Spanish – it means we get to sing-a-long without doing that weird beatboxing thing we normally have to do when Pitbull raps.

We’ve only got the lyric video for you for now, but after having this on repeat all morning we can’t wait for the official video.

Luckily, we do get a glimpse of the Puerto Rican heartthrob near the end, which will last us long enough until the actual video.

Check it out below…

Mr Put It Down is available to download on iTunes now. Ricky’s fourth English-language album and eleventh overall will be released on 24 May.
